Chapter 82 Living in my own world
Neil is a little girl.
She, a little girl, was not comfortable in school.
Because...she studies well.
That’s right, in ordinary public schools in the United States, studying well is a sin, and studying well is a mistake.
This anti-intellectual atmosphere makes people feel a little strange. It seems that it is not the learning atmosphere that a world's largest country should have, but in fact it is.
In this country of the United States, those excellent people and those who receive excellent elite education are basically concentrated in various private schools.
The competition for learning and various things is very obvious. In comparison, public schools use the word "defer pit" to describe it.
Some people may wonder, isn’t the higher the education, the better?
Do different people have no right to receive education?
Ordinary people do have the right to receive education, but if ordinary people really have a lot of knowledge and have a complete view of the three aspects, it is a very scary thing for elites.
Because if you think independently, you will find that there are too many things in this country that are illogical.
And what are the problems with these illogical aspects?
Whether you work hard will really achieve success in your life.
Or if you study hard, you will get the opportunity to be a leek.
A leek that is anxious is far from the kind of carefree leek in terms of profit.
For low-end jobs and people with less education can also be more competent.
Maintaining a relatively high level of education requires a high cost.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the United States finally entered a parallel education physique.
Neil, studying well in public schools is a very serious sin.
Whether for the elite or the ordinary people.
In pain and depression, she fell in love with the Internet.
Because she socializes online, she can meet many friends.
It seems like a thousand miles apart on the Internet, and it is no longer a problem.
The software she used the most recently is a software called "Today's Headlines".
Why does she have to browse this software for hours every day?
The reason is very simple.
It is because this software can make her feel a sense of recognition.
All the news she saw on this software is saying that only learning can change destiny.
Those who do not study will have a very miserable life in the end.
How miserable are their lives?
Either you become the waiter at the bottom of society or you can only work for those who study hard.
She has gained a lot in the software "Today's Headlines".
The biggest gain was that she knew that people like her were the mainstream in this world.
Otherwise, why would most of the news she saw were like this?
Therefore, she strengthened her heart to continue studying hard.
All of the strange thoughts were gone.
—————
Coincidentally, a thin little boy in the same class as Neil.
He doesn't like sports, he likes punk and hysterical singing.
However, in this era, punk seems to be no longer mainstream.
What should I do?
The thin little Tom learned by browsing news on the software "Today's Headlines".
Yanlai Punk has always been the mainstream, and punk has always been the most popular type of music.
Why don’t you like punk around you?
It's very simple, it's all because they're too stupid.
The news software "Today's Headlines" makes almost everyone who uses this software feel that what they like is the well-deserved mainstream in this world.
This halo is infinitely amplified, and even those who have to admit that they are not the center of this world because of their growth have a new feeling in their hearts.
What does it feel like?
They feel that they have never been wrong and that they are the center of the world.
Perhaps, the things children think they like are the most important things in the world are fine.
But the problem lies in the election of a state legislator.
This state legislator used the software "Today's Headlines" in some way.
What he saw on this software was not personal recognition, but a sensation of public opinion.
He never used mobile phones before. When he first started using "Today's Headlines", the software was full of different political views. After he worked hard for two months, he found that the whole world was recognizing his achievements.
Therefore, he was full of confidence that he could be officially elected as a state legislator.
However, when it was the day of the election, he found that for some reason, he had made so many achievements, and even had long reports on his mobile phone, but the number of votes he received was only the second to last among all the members of the election.
He fell into anger, and he thought that it was not himself who was wrong, but the world.
I am such a hardworking and excellent person, how could I be wrong?
Coincidentally, the impact of "Today's Headlines" is far more than this person.
There are many people who seem to be different from state legislators.
They feel that everything they do is the mainstream of this world. It is like Japanese comics and boys.
However, try again and again to tell them not, no.
They are not the mainstream of the world, they just live in their own world.
However, very few people realize this.
At the same time, those newspapers and those behind the newspapers also felt a severe crisis.
What crisis do they feel?
From the simplest and most fundamental perspective, how do people in this world who have not received higher education think about and elect leaders who can bring a better life to themselves?
The answer is very simple, it is through the media.
The media industry in the United States is extremely developed, from the newspaper industry that took off in the 1920s to the radio and television networks that are now spread all over the country.
Who are these media recommending and who are good to say, and those ordinary people who may not have much bigger brains than hamsters.
Will you choose a leader recommended by the media, or someone you have never heard of?
Just like when choosing shampoo when choosing shampoo, do you choose brands that always advertise on TV, even if you haven’t bought them, or those small brands that have never even heard of in the bottom bar of the shelf?
And if the previous media were just one physical supermarket after another.
Then "Today's Headlines" is a subversive online supermarket.
